Story: WASHINGTON — New video of Woman in US Capitol ram raid shot dead trying to run from Police officers
Incredible footage of the moment a female driver tried to ram through bollards at the US White House before leading police on a chase to the Capitol Building has been released.
In the video filmed by Arabic language TV channel Alhurra, the motorist is seen reversing at speed into a police car before driving away, ignoring police pointing their guns at her.
She is then is seen racing away.
The woman, whose identity has not been released, was reportedly shot and killed by police in Washington DC following a police chase after she tried to ram a barricade near the Capitol Building.
Witnesses say that after ramming the barricade near the Capitol, which houses the US Congress, the woman then drove her Lexus down the road toward the White House with about 20 police vehicles in pursuit.
Local news outlets are reporting that the woman, whose child was in the vehicle, was shot by police during the pursuit.
She was then taken to hospital but died one hour later, reports say.
The woman's child is believed to be unharmed.
At least three shots were also fired at the Capitol Building, injuring one officer.
Police sealed off the building as emergency vehicles converged at the scene, placing many parts of Washington DC, including the White House, in lockdown.
There are unconfirmed reports that others have also been injured.
Due to the current shutdown of the US government some of those emergency workers who attended the scene will not be paid.
About half an hour after the incident began, the security lockdown at the Capitol was eased and the doors reopened but a heavy police presence remained in the area.
An AFP photographer saw at least one person receiving emergency medical assistance on the north side of the complex, but there was no immediate official word of casualties.
"We heard what was about four shots," Senator Bernie Sanders had said as tourists and lawmakers rushed into the building to take cover and police hurried to secure the area.
Outside the Dirksen office building, which houses senators' offices, staff members not sent home by the US government shutdown could be seen taking cover behind trees and vehicles.
Every minute or so, the Capitol Police made a loudspeaker announcement: "If you are in an office building, remain sheltered in place."
Emergency vehicles converged on the scene, focused on the north side of the iconic landmark.
Just over a mile away at the White House Secret Service agents in tactical gear deploying around the building. The security alert was later partially lifted.
Senators told AFP they had been walking with colleagues from a nearby senatorial annex when they heard shots and been forced to take cover.
"We saw people dropping to the ground. Not hit, taking cover," said Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio.
